Well im posting this because i dont really know what to do.
Found this Samsung TN Panel 2693HM for €310 online and im really considering it because in my eyes its dirt cheap for a brand new monitor and its a 26 Inch.
You pay for a lot of other 24" TN monitors the same price.

I recently played on a 24" Samsung 2494HM 16:9 TN Panel Monitor at my friends place and i was suprised how good the screen actually was compared to my own Dell 2007WFP S-IPS Monitor.
As im using the monitor mostly for gaming im leaning towards a TN panel and i want a 16:10 Monitor.

The other options i have are the:
-Nec EA231WMi (H-IPS 16:9 :shakes: ) @ €321
-Nec EA241WM (TN 16:10) @ €369
-Dell U2410 ( H-IPS 16:10) non ebay price is roughly €520 in the Netherlands.

For the price the Samsung is really a good option and reading that the U2410 has a lot of colour problems and its pretty expensive, the EA231WMi is a 16:9 Monitor and that the EA241WM is a really expensive TN Monitor im really leaning towards the Samsung 2693HM.

Would it be a wise choice to buy this Samsung or are there other options for me?

Thanks for any input.

Thanks for your answer NKrader but i think im not going to buy it.
Probably to big for me, a 23" or 24" will do the job.
I think i will end up with the Nec EA231WMi, only downside is the 1920x1080 resolution.

I recently got a Sammy 2494HM and i gotta tell ya its good monitor. I also have have Sammy 215t (PVA) panel and compared to it , its pretty decent. One of the best features of the 2494hm is that it has extremely small backlight bleed compared to my older 215T, its almost non-existent.
